Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contra-Manifesto to That Published by the Government of Buenos-Ayres: Stating the Grounds on Which It Pretends to Justify Its Declaration of War Against the Peru-Bolivian Confederacy It will cost me no trouble to reduce these imputations to dust, and although an absolute denegation of the facts produced would be amply sufficient for that purpose, until those facts be made good by proofs, as reason and justice demand in every species of accusation, yet to set the base malignity of the conduct of the Buenos-Ayrean Government in a still clearer point of view, I shall super-add to the positive denegation of the excesses which its Manifesto attributes to my Administration, a few simple but luminous explanations that will unravel the tortuous intentions which dictated that paper, The Peru-Bolivian Confederacy fears not the war with which it is threatened. To say nothing of its vast resources, of the patriotism and fidelity, the moral and numerical strength of its warlike troops, the very impotency of the enemy, which the intrigues of the Chilian Cabinet have raised up against it, were sufficient to remove all idea of danger, and make it receive with a smile of compassion this vain and impertinent challenge, which ought, in charity, to be attributed to insanity. It knows that the very Government which threatens hostility, scarcely maintains its own existence by dint of sanguinary punishments and persecutions: that the very Government which provokes its indignation, can scarcely keep its tottering seat amidst the frightful precipices which the hatred of the people, the irritation of the savage tribes, the penury of its resources, and the immense deficiency of its revenues, have spread around it on all sides.
